Making Hlodnik

Kasia, who is from Poland and works in our finance department, brought in some Hlodnik the other day and proceeded to let us taste it and then when we all really enjoyed it, she promised to bring us all some the next day. She did. We like people like Kasia.

Hlodnik is a Polish soup made from beetroot and yoghurt (amongst other things). It is served cold and is very refreshing on a summers day. Once having tasted it I made some (a HUGE batch) at home and included the cucumbers as well as a large amount of other veggies (as is required by the recipe). It wasn't nearly as good as Kasia's, but I think it will be a learning experience!

Here are some pictures of the herbs, the other ingredients and the cooking process. Enjoy.
